DEXA scans in Memphis
Memphis trains big: 4,500-acre Shelby Farms Park, the Big River Crossing over the Mississippi, and the St. Jude Memphis Marathon every December. DEXA scanning gives Shelby County residents exact body fat, lean muscle, and bone density numbers to match that effort.
Or call (786) 420-6630 and we'll find the nearest clinic.

Local context
DEXA Scans in Memphis, from Shelby Farms to the River
The clinic listed further down this page runs that scan for Memphis, covering 1 ZIP code across the area. A DEXA scan measures your body fat percentage, how much lean muscle you carry in each limb, the visceral fat around your organs, and your bone mineral density. It takes about 10 minutes and you get the numbers in writing.
Memphis anchors Shelby County on the bluffs above the Mississippi River, and its outdoor infrastructure is bigger than most people expect. Shelby Farms Park covers roughly 4,500 acres on the city's east side, the Shelby Farms Greenline rail-trail connects it to Midtown, the Wolf River Greenway threads through the city, and the Big River Crossing boardwalk on the Harahan Bridge lets runners and cyclists cross the Mississippi itself. Every December the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend fills downtown in support of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, one pillar of a medical district that also includes the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Add FedEx's global headquarters and one of America's busiest logistics workforces, and Memphis is full of people whose schedules are demanding and whose health deserves real measurement. A DEXA scan delivers that measurement in about ten minutes.

Who Gets DEXA Scans in Memphis?
Marathoners & Greenline Regulars
From St. Jude Memphis Marathon training groups to cyclists on the Shelby Farms Greenline and the Big River Crossing, Memphis endurance athletes use DEXA to confirm a season's work: lean muscle gained, visceral fat lost, and bone density held steady.
Logistics & Medical District Workforce
FedEx's global hub and the medical district around St. Jude and the UT Health Science Center employ tens of thousands of Memphians on demanding schedules. DEXA compresses a meaningful health checkpoint into ten minutes: body fat percentage, regional muscle balance, and bone health in one scan.
Adults Monitoring Bone Density
Shelby County adults referred for osteoporosis screening, often through physicians at Baptist Memorial or Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, use DEXA T-scores to catch bone loss early, and self-pay scans are available without a referral.

Frequently Asked Questions - Memphis DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Memphis, TN?
Regional One Health, at 6555 Quince Road, Suite 101 in Memphis, TN, runs DEXA scans for the Memphis area. Call (901) 515-3278 to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Memphis?
There is no single Memphis price: clinics publish their own rates, and cash-pay DEXA scans generally land between $99 and $250 by scan type. That still usually undercuts the $300-plus hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Ask the clinic for its current rate when scheduling — HSA/FSA funds work at most.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Memphis?
Mostly when you want insurance to pay: an insurance-billed bone density exam needs your physician to order it first. Self-pay scans usually need no referral in Memphis, but ask when you book, since some hospital departments require one.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Memphis, Tennessee?
Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a health system in Shelby County like Baptist Memorial Health Care & Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Is a DEXA scan safe in Memphis?
Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at Regional One Health you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Memphis?
Where a Memphis clinic offers body composition as well as bone density, one scan produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a Baptist Memorial Health Care & Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare physician would order on its own.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Memphis?
Plan on 30 minutes in Memphis — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at Regional One Health. Results usually follow within a day or two.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like Baptist Memorial Health Care & Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Memphis.
